A nice and shiny #Slimemold (I was driving and reversed and stopped just because I saw something red in a charred pine😅), Probably Heterotrichia ferruginea.
And some very dry nest fungi, Crucibulum laeve.

A closeup of tiny red like eggs structures, lots of them in heaps forming a rug over a charred pine trunk Structures shaped like cups or nests with little white lentils inside over pine needles

For #SlimeMoldSunday, a plasmodium and its inseparable companion, a very cute🥰 forager #Springtail
If someone can ID them closer than me (I've reached Poduromorpha and unknown Slime by now😅), I'd be very grateful
A short video posted next👇🏻
Some whitish jelly blobs over rotting wet yucca debris A very cute springtail: it's long, with a cylindrical segmented body and a round anthened head with two black dots that look like eyes. It's done kind of faded blue.

Saw a good one today😍
Sarcosphaera coronaria. They are massive (for a Pezizal)!

And on the same walk, an old friend/Slime, Leocarpus fragilis, just forming the fruiting bodies

A new one in my land!!👏🏻
Reminds me of Physarum hongkongense, but let's not rush it till it's under the microscope🤓🔬
#Slimemold
Tiny little yellow like worms on a fig tree branch. Zoom in on them. There're 5-6 wormlike individuals, all of them yellow and with a wrinkled crust. Some are short and rounded and others are longer. One of them is branched and has three arms Zoom in on a specially long individual, it really looks like a worm, a yellow one Zoom in on three short rounded individuals.

Fase plasmodio. Aumentado por la lupa, a partir del borde de una hoja de eucalipto se expande un conjunto de venas naranjas en forma de abanico. A la izquierda de la imagen hay otro pequeño abanico similar. Aumentado unas 40 veces, un esporangio inmaduro: Tiene un pie blanco y arrugado, coronado por una cabezota redonda naranja brillante. Crece sobre una servilleta húmeda Un grupo de esporangios creciendo sobre la hoja de eucalipto. En esta etapa tienen las cabezotas redondas negras moteadas de naranja, siendo estás motas cristales de calcio. Esporangios ya maduros sobre la hoja de eucalipto. Los pies blancos y las esporotecas/cabezotas redondas, completamente naranjas y arrugadas, esta textura y color debida a los cristales de calcio que las recubren

Loving it!🤓🟠
#SlimeMoldSunday
Zoom in on the Plasmodial phase. There's an orange fan of veins expanding from an eucalyptus leaf. On the left there's another similar but smaller plasmodium. A zoom in on a single Sporangia growing on wet paper towel. It has a white wrinkled stem and an orange, bright rounded head Some more mature Sporangia growing on the eucalyptus leaf. Mostly they show their now black rounded heads dotted with orange/yellow specks. Some mature sporangia on the eucalyptus leaf. White wrinkly stems and orange rough rounded sporotheca.

Cuerpos fructíferos inmaduros de un Myxomycete. Sobre el borde de una servilleta de papel húmeda han crecido una docena de esporangios, formadas por un estípite/palito negro y fino coronado por una esfera blanca de aspecto viscoso. Otra especie de Myxomycete inmaduro. En este caso sobre el papel húmedo hay una veintena de chupachups, el estípite o palito rojo y con arrugas longitudinales y coronado por una esfera marrón grisácea. Cuerpos fructíferos de un Myxomycete, en este caso casi maduros, Nannengaella mellea.

Plasmodio, la parte ameboide de un Myxomycete. Sobre la pared de un tupper se extienden múltiples venas amarillo brillante que acaban agrupándose y formando abanicos. Es su forma de extenderse buscando luz, comida, etc.

... And a 2nd species (Think so) that isn't D. leucopodia comes to play!

Hey, @regularslimeguy.bsky.social, @blebleb.bsky.social & @nuiipointer.bsky.social!
Never underestimate the capacity of #Slimemold to grow wherever they want. I put a small sample of green blades and🍀with D. leucopodia sporangia trying to grow them and... Tadaaa!!! Another species🤯 is taking over!
A general view of the moist chamber: a plastic container with a wet paper towel and a very small sample of rotting green leaves (clover). Over the clover there are old Diachea leucopodia fruiting bodies, a slime mold I was trying to grow again. On the right, 6-8 cm apart there is a bunch of tiny fruiting bodies of another unknown yet Slime. In the middle of both patches there is a brown small stain that could be a plasmodium. A close up of the new fruiting bodies. There are formed by a red wrinkled stem and a grey, almost rounded, still immature head/sporotheca A close up of the new fruiting bodies.

Sooo, mystery solved,
@blebleb.bsky.social!
In my short experience with moist chamber, I've seen this kind of growth once, and was secretly rooting for Nannengaella mellea, and here it is!
3 days from dry Sclerotia to almost mature Sporangia🤘🏻🤯🤘🏻 It rocks!! And it's really gorgeous🥰

#SlimeMoldSunday
Very little black and yellow spots on the walls of a plastic container. They're the Sporangia of a Slime mold. Zooming in, there are these little lollipops with yellow stems and black and yellow round head. Zooming in again, there are three Sporangia, one of them the most mature, with yellow lyme crystals over their black round head.

Sometimes they grow sooo nicely🤩🤯
A plasmodium collected almost dry 3 days ago after being in Moist Chamber for just 36 hours!!

@nuiipointer.bsky.social
#Slimemold
Magnified (x20) patchs of dried plasmodium, they are like orange plasticine on some yucca debris. A yellow plasmodium has conquered the walls of the plastic container. At first it grows like veins, and then they converge at the tips forming enlarged fans

This season is being awful for MacroFungi over here (2-3 years long drought😓🏜️), but shyly, they are a few peeking around🍄👀

Amanita rubescens

A small mushroom growing among chestnut leaves. It's closed yet, so there's an almost round reddish brown cap with white specks. The stem is white. Amanita rubescens An as big as my hand mushroom growing among chestnut leaves. It's extended, so there's an almost flat reddish brown cap with white specks. The stem is white. Amanita rubescens Three mushrooms growing among moss. Their caps are white, but almost covered in concentric reddish-brown scales. Agaricus ugustus.

I just look through published papers. This isn't the easiest species to find SEM for

Hi!! @regularslimeguy.bsky.social
By chance you may have any SEM photos of Gulielmina vermicularis? Specifically, capillitium? I've been studying a sample and my microscope+camera (mobile phone😥) aren't the best. Would love to see the elaters ornamentation🤓... Where do you get your SEM images🙏🏻?

It has a very exclusive spot among grass in my farm, always the same📍🍀

White-footed Slime, Díachea leucopodia

Some blades of grass with a Slime mold on them. The slime has a white base and white stalks and then it's like an iridiscent ice lolly filled with black spores. Close up of some sporothecas.

Growing and expanding for days, but it's shy, doesn't evolve to something I could ID
